In your paperless office there is an ever-growing mountain of flagged, exclamated and deadlined emails with your name on them, which are tick tock ticking towards the dreaded 'due-in-10-minutes' Outlook reminder. Your particular mountain is one of those over developed mounds which started life as a reasonably manageable scraping of mud from a giant's boot and has been steadily added to by other big booted giants since the day you were shown where the coffee and redbull stained mugs were stored.
On top of the accumulated pile of beeping compost (your re-set due-in-5-minutes reminder) is another who could one day know how you feel, sitting grumpily with a croak of understanding in his throat - the humble frog. You see, he has an amazing ability not unlike your own - if you put him in cold water and heat it up gradually enough, he won’t jump out. Instead, like you, he will remain unconscious and ignorant to the fact that he is slowly being boiled alive!
